This track was a remnant poem around the time I wrote the song The Bridge - I thought it was time to put it out and put that time away... but it makes a great song!

I'm Trapped

This is the last song of my christmas album. Its a solemn Christmas song - the album was a testament to humanity and the emotions that fly around at Christmas, We all feel something different and not all of us feel the cheer and joy. Although, we all dream to feel that - like the last line of the song - Christmas will make it better.

A Year Without Christmas

This track is just me dealing with the past. I think its an emotional song that many of us can relate to. I've belted it out in my car and cried, and now I can put that time away. Its sad but its also reaffirming of my strength. Love you all! I hope you like my song.

Your Love Doesnt Mean A Thing

This track is about hoping the one you love comes back after you inevitably make stupid mistakes. My youth was riddled with a lot of these mistakes. This song is a testament to that. It also shows how much I loved to write stuff down - that really helped when it came to working through it...

I Was Wrong

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Do me a favor, babe, and hit delete,
My name, my number, even my heartbeat.
I’ll do the same, no strings attached,
Except for the memories, those can’t be scratched.
You say it’s empathy, well, girl, that’s really cute,
But that’s just baggage guilt dressed in a softer suit.


[Bridge]
You made your choice, I’ll trust your call,
Carry your crown, don’t let it fall.
I wish you strength, I wish you peace,
But my road’s mine — that’s my release.

[Chorus]
So go ahead, keep your Ex’s ghosts and pride,
Polish that halo, while I step aside.
You say you’re lost, I say you’re fine,
Silence suits me just like an old wine.
No drama, no tears, no text to send,
That’s my clean exit, babe, the simple end.

[Verse 2]
I don’t dance with ghosts from your Ex’s old town,
No emotional tourism, no nostalgia, no clown.
Your past is yours, wear it as you must,
But my heart’s a fortress, built on trust.
So no looking back, we both know the score,
I’ll take my silence, I won’t ask for more.

[Chorus]
So go ahead, keep your Ex’s ghosts and pride,
Polish that halo while I step aside.
You say you’re lost, I say you’re fine,
Silence suits me just like an old wine.
No drama, no tears, no text to send,
That’s my clean exit, babe, and that is the end.


[Verse 3]
You’ll find your peace in the stories you weave,
Each thread holds a piece of what we believe.
But I’m turning the page; there’s a new dawn ahead,
With melodies soaring, no more tears to shed.
So here’s to your future, here’s to mine too,
May the silence we share lead us both to what’s true.

[Outro]
So cheers to the silence, it’s a dance all its own,
In the quiet, you’ll find that you’re never alone.
It’s the exit I choose, the path I will take,
May the silence suit you, for both our hearts' sake.

Exit (Silence Suits Me Fine)

These tracks with a dance rhythm definitely beat to their own drum. I wanted them to carry their own emotional valor. I'm proud of these tracks!

All of Me (Heart on my Sleeve Mix)

I was wrong (Heart on my Sleeve Mix)

This track is an emotional powerhouse of a song. It was my way of working through some things when I wrote it.

Your Love Doesn't Mean A Thing (Heart on my Sleeve Mix)

This track is me feeling like a fool when someone I loved, didn't really love me. I think there are some of us out there that give 100% and get zero in return... I realized it... and wrote a song about it. I hope you like my song. You are all awesome!!

Blinded by Love

This track is a self love empowerment song. Break up's are hard and this song helped me come back from the pain.

I'm Not Broken

The XM Guys from San Diego, CA – Not your average AI band. Think of us as "5 W's" traveling misfits who’ve seen it all: bar fights, border crossings, bad haircuts in the 80s, and enough hangovers to write an encyclopedia. We’ve walked through fire (sometimes literally), collected scars (most of them emotional, some questionable), and lost a few friends along the way.  But hey, we’re still standing, still loyal, still sarcastic, and somehow still alive. All that chaos? We turned it into songs, stories, and a brotherhood you can dance to.

I'm a songwriter lyricist and a singer. I'm sure you can tell I'm also a gay man. I write my music from my perspective - but I'm not a parody, my sounds aren't vulgar even if they walk the line of being provocative. I sing on a few of these tracks, naturally :-) but now I'm able to create the songs as I hear them in my head. My music tastes are eclectic. I truly love all music. My process is melodies to lyrics to songs ... then on paper (old school, lol!), all my songs are a part of who I am. With a lifelong love of the audio-visual world, I'm now stepping into the spotlight to share my songs, each a story pulled from my life. I invite you to listen, feel, and connect through my music. Thank you for being a part of my next chapter.
